Chapter 316: The Mysterious Cave
Li Yuan paused, following Ye Fei's gaze—
The two chased each other, unaware that they had run into a cave.
The cave was spacious, and the air flowing into it made a mournful sound like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, creating a chilling and eerie atmosphere.
The entire cave was completely empty, not even a single blade of grass could be seen, and there was absolutely no sign of anyone having been there.
Li Yuan frowned. He didn't like this place. He couldn't explain why, it was just an intuitive aversion. "Let's go back."
Ye Fei felt that this place was a bit strange, but seeing that Li Yuan didn't seem to like it either, she didn't say anything, grabbed his hand and was about to walk out of the cave.
Just then, Ye Fei felt a slight twitch on the skin of her left wrist. Looking down, she saw that the Prisoner Orchid had crawled out of her wrist. The light blue five-petaled orchid stood upright on its flower stem, and its petals swayed a few times toward the path leading into the depths of the cave.
That gesture seemed to be gesturing for Ye Fei to go inside.
Ye Fei hesitated for a moment. Qiu Gu Lan was intelligent, so she had spoken with her before setting off, telling her that she should not show herself unless her life was in danger.
But now, Qiu Gulan... Ye Fei turned to look at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan stared coldly at Qiu Gu Lan: "What do you want to do?"
The Prisoner Orchid shook its petals again, as if in response to Li Yuan's words.
Ye Fei gazed at the path leading deeper into the cave, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Prisoner Orchid doesn't appear for no reason. Perhaps it senses something inside and wants us to go there?"
The Imprisoned Bone Orchid shook its petals again, making a nodding gesture.
Li Yuan: "..."
Ye Fei grabbed Li Yuan's hand: "Shall we go take a look?"
Li Yuan stared directly into the girl's dark, inky eyes. If there was any unavoidable danger, he would simply demolish the cave and raze the place to the ground.
He squeezed her hand back tightly: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The two walked side by side down the only road, and soon Ye Fei sensed a hint of blood in the air.
The further you went in, the stronger the smell of blood became.
Li Yuan also keenly sensed the smell of blood, and his eyes turned a faint purple.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the scene before them surprised Ye Fei and Li Yuan.
They followed the path to another large cave, where several young women sat weakly against the cave wall, their bodies covered in blood and their limbs scarred.
Due to excessive blood loss, the young women were deathly pale, like flowers about to wither.
Hearing footsteps, one of the women slowly opened her eyes. A hint of fear flashed across her eyes at first, but after seeing who it was, she smiled with excitement and joy. Her body went limp and she struggled to crawl towards Ye Fei and Li Yuan!
"Help...help me..." The woman barely managed to squeeze out a broken sentence, her hair disheveled, staring at the two people in front of her with an urgent and yearning look.
Ye Fei opened her eyes wide, looking at Li Yuan in confusion: "Why here..."
Before she could finish speaking, the woman who had crawled over suddenly groaned in pain, collapsed to the ground, and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.
At this moment, Ye Fei and Li Yuan noticed that several gnarled, light blue branches had sprouted from the woman's back!
Ye Fei exclaimed in astonishment: "Prisoner Orchid?!"
Why is there a Poisonous Bone Orchid inside this woman's body?
Li Yuan stared at the woman writhing on the ground in agony, his brows furrowing: "Thorns..."
